Hey guys... As the title says I need a good quality, image of the rear of the engine (out of the bay), with all cooling lines still attached. Dosn't matter if it's been bypassed or not. So not a slightly side on shot but a good full image of the back of the motor. I've blown yet another freaking hose and I swear I've changed most of them. And yes the plenum has been bypassed.
Perfect Ron, I've blown the passenger side turbo hose. Thats gonna be a bitch. Either that or the join in the heater hard pipe. Which is even more of a bitch. I need to do this tonight...so it'll be dark. Even more of a bitch. God hates me.
That's the one BoneZX and I did on Magic Mikes car pre-Cowra. It's nasty, and easier with one person manupilating from the top and one working underneath.
Turbos differnt position .... I assume that the offset is for steering clearance. (differnt turbo psition) So arnt AMS manifolds going to be for a left hand drive ? And wont this create a problem ? Anyone know ?
<sigh> well I found out why it blew so aggressively. My Thermofan has packed it in as well. So gay. So liberache gay.
Nope, its identical so its ok for RHD cars. Mines installed and fits seamlessly. Only few bits and bobs till the car is ready to start. I do have a photo album of the build progress but its part of my bebo so i'll put it in photobucket or something soon....bit tied up at the moment.
No I cleaned that wiring up...but I never put a fuse in the line. Well saying that I haven't confirmed that it's fried yet, it may yet be the relay that's fried. Fingers crossed cause I have more of those.
Well that was a bitch. Thermofan had siezed, causing the temps to spike in peak hour this morning not sure why and I can't be bothered opening it up tonight. I had another one so that was replaced, although it sounds like a jet plane taking off, and replaced evil passanger side turbo hose. Theres only one more coolant hose I havn't had to replace over the last 4 weeks, and thats the drivers side turbo hose so fingers crossed that lasts until the weekend. Because I really am getting tired of these night time fixes. The light in my carport is terrible, and lead lights get so hot.
Almost had a Pang of conscience and was going to offer to come over and help you Andy, but the thought of laying under a wet car on cold concrete on a rainy and windy winters night didn't exactly excite me, So i decided to stay in the lounge room and lay on the carpet in front of the heater instead, sorry Glad you got it sorted, lets hope the drivers side lasts till your ready to fix it. Yell out if you want a hand.
Ron, your almost desire to lend a hand fills me with a warm glow. Although I can't blame you, theres nothing like lying under a car dripping a mix of dirty water and hot coolant on you. I've taken photo's of all these PITA little turbo hose fixes so I'll write up a tech one of these days, as for as far as I know, there isn't one that deals with replacing these in car.
Email it to me Andy sales@pexcom.com.au Send it as a PDF file if you can, or I can do it. I'll submit it straight in to the tech section
